Windows 7 for the Enterprise

logo320x287 Microsoft has updated the product page for Windows 7 Enterprise and contains a good summary of new features and scenarios for using Windows 7 for the company.

Some of the tools that would be available in Windows 7-

DirectAccess

Working outside the office is about to become a lot simpler. DirectAccess in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 enhances the productivity of mobile workers by connecting them seamlessly and more securely to their corporate network any time they have Internet access—without the need to VPN. When IT enables DirectAccess, the whole corporate network file shares, intranet Web sites, and line-of-business applications can remain accessible wherever you have an Internet connection.

BranchCache

BranchCache in Windows 7 helps increase network responsiveness of applications, giving users in remote offices an experience more like working in the head office. When accessing content stored on Windows Server 2008 R2, users in a branch office don’t need to wait as long to download files from headquarters. When IT enables BranchCache, a copy of data accessed from an intranet web site or a file server is cached locally within the branch office. When another user on the same network requests the file, the user gets access to the content almost immediately as it is downloaded from the local cache rather than over a limited bandwidth connection back to headquarters.

AppLocker

Users who run unauthorized software can experience a higher incidence of malware infections, generate more help desk calls, and undermine efforts to standardize corporate desktops. With the vast number of applications available on the Web, IT professionals need sophisticated tools to ensure that user desktops run only approved, licensed software.
